Approve leave requests

Leave requests reach you when you're an approver in the leave approval workflow, usually as the employee's manager.

Steps​

  1. Go to Leave request approve list.
  2. Filter by Employee, Leave type or Status if needed.
  3. Select View on a request to see the dates, Total leave days, reason, documents and the employee's balance. Select Workflow to see the approval steps.
  4. Select the requests and choose Approve or Reject.
  5. Add Remarks and confirm. Remarks may be required.

Result​

  • Approved: if this was the last approval step, the days are availed from the employee's balance and show as leave in attendance. Otherwise the request moves to the next approver.
  • Rejected: the days return to the employee's balance, and the employee sees "Rejected by approver".

Approving in bulk​

You can select several requests and approve or reject them together. The same remarks apply to all of them.

When you can't approve​

While a payroll run for the period is being processed, leave in the attendance window is locked. You can approve once the run is published or the payroll team unlocks attendance.
